Linux - Make Directories in Bash

​In Bash, the command to make ​a new directory is the same as in Windows. ​Let’s make a new directory called ​my cool folder with the mkdir or make directory command. ​Now we can verify my cool folder is in our desktop.

$ cd ~/Desktop
$ mkdir my_cool_folder
$ ls
my_cool_folder

 ​Instead of using backticks ​like in Windows to escape a character, ​in Bash, you can use a backslash. ​Similar to Windows, ​you can also use quotes to encompass an entire file name.

  ​How do you think you would make a directory ​called my cool folder in Linux with spaces? ​Mkdir my backslash, ​cool backslash folder Pasted image 20260618204254 or ​Or mkdir “my cool folder” works as well Pasted image 20260618204409
